Topic: Hasbro 3.75" Deluxe Figures (Read 10590 times)

It looks like HTS now has a deluxe section in their Indiana Jones area, with most to all of the deluxe figures listed. The shipping date is 5/28, according to their site, but it does give an idea of what to be out looking for on May 1st.

To make a long story short, I'm come to terms with the fact that I am most likely "in" on the Indy line. Not completeist mind you, just hoping to stick to Indiana Jones and the People He Killed. That will get me the big Indy variants (Hovitos Temple, Streets of Cairo, Tux, Crusade, KotCS, Yound Indy, etc) as well as some baddies to go with him (German Mechanic, Cairo Swordsman, etc).

As such, I need the Cairo Henchmen, since Indy killed a few of them... Marion is just a bonus I guess.... or maybe a curse since having her will mean I need more of the basic figs like Grail Knight and Henry Sr. and Short Round and etc...

Ugh, I don't know why I insist on pretending like I'm not going to just give in on May 1st when I see them all hanging there...

I think you can take solace that the line is probably not going to be that long lived. A couple of years likely and it will die out is my guess. As a fan of the line and the movies I hope for more, but I haven't convinced myself it's going to do much better than any other recent movie line release (Superman, FF, Batman, Hulk, etc.).

I doubt I'll be able to resist. I've already squirreled away a little extra because of this line... I'm hoping it's longer-lived than you think Brent, but at the same time I'm not hopeful either. I'm really wanting some obscure **** and just know that my tastes probably won't get met...

I should probably just be happy we're getting what we are. It's outstanding looking so far, aside from a paintjob or likeness here and there.

I'm really wanting some obscure **** and just know that my tastes probably won't get met...

I probably have the same tastes...but even with the most obscure characters, unless they go hardcore into the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, this line doesn't have more than 2 years worth of figures in it. And like you guys, I am hoping to be wrong.

And the funky tooth guy Marion actually slams with the pan (though I'm extremely happy we got the non-descript thug army builder too). I want Indy in German DAK uniform from Raiders, and Indy in German Officer uniform from Last Crusade... I want Marcus, and Sallah in a Fez... I want the German Pilot for the flying Wing, and I'd love the Cairo Gestapo agents in the light colored suits with fedoras and MP40's.

I want Chinese pilots, Chinese Gangsters, Indy in tux, Indy's Chinese sidekicks (not just Short Round), and British Colonial soldiers from India... I want the dude getting his heart ripped out.

That's very cool that they used the white Schleich tent for a couple pics. I've got that tent too (on clearance after Christmas at Target) and was planning on building around it for a diorama. It looks great with the Indy figures around it... wish I had picked up more than one.

Someone I know got a German on bike and was telling me about it... It's pretty nice and is gonna go well with the 1:18 military figures. Removable helmet's great, and other than his Luger holster being a bit oversized I like most everything about it. He needed the cloth to sit on the bike right so I'm ok with that. I have some Germans with longcoats already that are vinyl and look better, so I'm not bothered.

I'm anxious to get DAK repaints of the bike, and hopefully a sidecar, for the Raiders chase scene. And of course one with Indy and Dad.
